100 Years: “The Hiker”

April 17, 2020 Leave a Comment

A series of posts as we look forward to the 100th Anniversary of ADKNY in 2023

Before there was a “Trail Marker”, there was “The Hiker”

It had a short life and this is one of the first issues. It is #5 but it is the first issue that I have in our records. Again, the Editor remains a mystery.

Some issues never change such as the directive that “the Annual Meeting will not be a time for criticism of any one or any thing.” Some things have changed: we no longer require a dressing room accommodation for the dinner dance that was part of the Annual Meeting.

Why are there no hikes nor outings listed? There was a separate quarterly publication, “Schedule of Hikes and Outings”, that was published in beautiful small booklets from 1923 – 1952. Copies of these were carefully preserved so more on these in future posts.
